Ivy’s Poppy Blanket: Free Crochet Baby Blanket Pattern

This free crochet baby blanket pattern is Ivy’s Poppy Blanket! It is a free baby blanket pattern that I named after my only niece. The blanket is made by making the Ivy motifs and joining them as you go to make a super quick blanket! I’ve provided an optional trim that you can include on your blanket to really finish it off.

Not only will you get a free crochet baby blanket pattern but I am also providing you with an instructional YouTube video showing you how to make the motifs and how to join-as-you-go. How easy is that?

The yarn used in this free crochet baby blanket pattern is Red Heart, “With Love” which comes in MANY different colors. Choose one that is right for you. This one is for my Niece who is in love with pink and purple.

Gentle reminder: It has just come to my attention that many people are unaware that free patterns still have copyrights and it is not legal to distribute. I ask that if you like the pattern and want to tell your friends that you share the link to the pattern. This includes all charts and schematics that are providing with the pattern. By doing so you are allowing me to make a little money via advertising which in turn makes it possible for me to keep designing fun and free patterns.
